Iwishod from the depths I'd nevor been born;
And I vented something I'd never had,
And I wanted it very, very bad.
Not billiards, nor poker. nor polo, nor loo,
Not a fig from these thistles ever grew,
l was tired of doctors and doctors stuff,
And doctors bills-by George! they wero rough T!
My head was dizzy and my legs were thin,
Hooked alike Mephisto. and felt like sin,

An awfuly pretty mi1d-cure girl,
With soft gray eyes, and C. bit of a cu:l
On her smooth, white brow-enough to show
A spice Of the hulnnn-don't you know2
And I clluckled inwardly to see
Tho pttying look she cast on me.

But you SEQ I did not understand

ut appears to me that the true impulse to-
ward authorship does not arise from desire
to please any one, but rather from strong
consciousness of something definite to say,
whether people will listen or not. can hon.
estly assert that have never manufactured a
novel, and should do so l am sure it would
be so wooden and lifeless that no one would
read it. My stories have come with scarcely
any volition on my part, and their characters
control me- If l should move them about
like images, they would be but images. In
every book they often acted in a manner just
opposite from what 1 had planned. More
over, there are unwritten stories in my mind
the characters of which are becoming almost
as real as the people I meet daily. While
composing narratives forget everything and
live in an ideal world, which, nevertheless, is
real for the time. The fortunes of the char
acters affect one deeply, and l truly believe
that only as feel strongly will the reader be
interested. \ book, like a bullet, can only go
as far as the projecting force carries it."

THE BOODLERS.
Chlcago's Convicted Embezzlers Amusing
Themselves at Drawpoker.


Themselves at Drawpoker.
CHICAGO, August 6.-During the morn.
ing the most of the convicted boodlers oc-
cupied themselves in friendly game of
drawpoker. While they were thus en-
gagged, Commissioner Leyden, who had
been allowed to spend the night at home,
in charge of deputies, was brought in.
His wife and unborn infant are at
deaths door this afternoon. States At
torney Grinnell called up the motion for a
new trial for the convicted boodlers.
In doing so he stated they had not yet
had the decency to hand in their resigna-
tons, and he demanded it be done at once.
1t seems that refusal on the part of the
boodlers to resign may, under certain and
not improbable contingencies, produce a
dead lock that will prevent the levying of
any taxes for the county. The conviction
of an infamous crime makes vacant the
office held by the criminal, but
is so framed that the county board must
declare vacancy exists, and without the
cooperation of the boodlers this can
hardly be done.
Judge Jameson practically declared that
the defendants must resign. The specta-
Gle of the legislators of this great county,
administering its affairsin Jail would not
be tolerated.
Alexander Sullivan, for the defense,
pleaded for time to consult with his col
leagues on this point, and also asked to
have arguments on the motion for
new trial, postponed until September.
After much discussion Sullivan sue
ceeded in getting matters delayed until
Monday, with the understanding that if
the boodlers resigned in the mean time
the arguing of motion for a new trial
would be put off till September. Those
of the boodlers who were merely fined
concluded not to further the chances, and
withdrew their motion for another trial.

Both viii be Sold.

Two spoons within an ice cream glass,
Two spoons lift up the same;
A dudish man, dudine lass,
And courtship is their game.
She thinks he is man of wealth,
He thinks her pa is rich
Alas, one gets his cash by stealth,
Her dad digs in q ditch.
But soon they'll wake from their sweet dream,
Get left when days grow cold;
Soon will be gobbled down the cream,
Aud two spoons will get sold.

An Unfortunate Incident.

As Mr.. Jones walked down the aisle,
On Sunday, beaming with a smasle,
His heart was wholly free from guaisle
What then could his calm spirit raisle?
In one hand was shining taise;
His clothes were of the latest staisle.
And which the same had cost paisle,
The people eyed Jones all the whaisle-
But mournful to tell,
He stumbled and fell
All, then would Jones have gnawed q faisle,
Or jumped headlong into the Naise,
But he thought no thoughts that were vaisle
Nor made display of his baise-
He got up and sat down,
Without a grin or frown,
Yet wished he were distant maisle.

Popular Education.

We sympathize with the feeling which
often leads citizens to boast that no child
born in this country need grow up in
ignorance, and yet it is fact that many
people who have learned to read and write
have never taught themselves to think. A
man who suffered from catarrh, con-
sumption, bronchitis, scrofula or silver
complaint" might read till his eyes
drop out how these and many other dis
eases have been cured by DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, but if he did
not take the lesson to himself and test
the virtues of this great medicine, his
time would be thrown away.

The Concord school of philosophy is now in
session, and the "pupils" are ripping up old
Aristotle from Genesis to Revelations and
back again. One of them says that "Aris-
totles 'immovable' is really the unmoved,
which means the unmoved from without, but
at the same time self moved, or moved from
within, the cause of its due motion, and this
can and does move Others" Well, we are
moved to remark that if Aristotle was SO
terribly addicted to moving, the inference is
that he didn't pay his rent-Norristown
